Kevin had chocie in that amtter too, he was a grown ass man that didn't need to follow Gloria's orders.

Pretty much.

The Ed Grimley of Genoa City needs to die.

I'm not surprised, this "Cane is love" agenda from this hack writing regime just won't end, even if it's at the expense of actual core/legacy characters.

Yep.

TPTB are even propping characters from OTHER SHOWS over legacy characters.

Alison Stewart will be on Y&R when ATWT ends.

Watch.

Maybe they should mute all the dialogue on this show and just play classic background music.

There you go!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But actually... today's final scene was the best in WEEKS. Beau and Jeanne play one of the best Mother/Son dynamics in, dare I say it... daytime history. for 35 years, I have never tired of watching these two. And of all soap opera characters created, Brock is indeed, the PERFECT man.

The writers are grasping at straws, looking for places to put Kevin. His time has come and gone. I think the show really needs to move on from him. Amber was a person who belonged there, and Amber is perfectly affable in Kay's orbit... where she doesn't seem so whiny and self-centered. And Frantz looked PRETTY today. Nice hair, and look how much BETTER she looked when she puts away the whore red lipstick and tones down her eye shadow. Her face is EASILY overwhelmed by makeup, and with her, less is DEFINITELY more, and as long as she dials it back on the war paint, Frantz is a perfectly lovely girl.

Katherine ALWAYS believed in you Kevin?

Like when you gaslit her?

He has an excuse! The chipmunk made him do it!

Possibly the worst "story" ever.

This storyline is seemingly rewritten every 5 minutes, but if we're to go by John F Smith's original "Jill is Katherine's daughter" storyline:

Damn Smith for opening this can of worms.

Man, Kay, "I wanna DNA test" will soon be as signature to Y&R as Maury's "You are NOT the father."

LOL I've always wanted SuBe or Passions to spoof Maury's "You are NOT the father." But instead they both did Springer spoofs.

I'm so sick of DNA tests on this show.

Tell me about it! I hated Kevin being there too.

I LOATHE Amber but even she would've been better there than Kevin & THEN using HIM as a mouthpiece for KATHERINE'S grandchildren?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE.

After today the writers might make Billy BFF's with Kevin and Daniel.

I hope this new DNA test isn't being done by the people who said Jill was Kay's daughter and Cane Jill's son.

Well in all fairness, Kay would be dead if it wasn't for Kevin. The reason he was kidnapped was because he believed that Marge really was Kay and went to the motel to save her. Amber also has a special relationship with Katherine. The main reason for this I believe is that Jeanne Cooper loves Adrienne Frantz as well as Greg Rikkhart and so they are making them surrogate relatives to Katherine just like most of the people in that room. The only ones truly related to Kay is Mac and Brock.

I don't know why Kay even needed this gathering. I understood Neil, Michael, Nikki, Victor and Paul being there because they could help her legally or were involved in the manipulation, but to have everyone show up for support seems a bit much. She knows she is the Queen of Genoa City so her subjects need to leave her alone so she can figure out a way to get her company back.

MAB must love Kevin. He also was everywhere when Colleen died from her dream, then the hospital and finally her funeral while Lauren never attended her funeral but only was heard offscreen calling Tracy from and sending money to Colleen's favorite charity. Kevin also gets invited to all the family events.

In all fairness, Kay wouldn't have believed she was LOSING HER MIND had KEVIN not gaslit her.

So he & his guilty conscience heroics can die in a fire.

The only ones truly related to Kay is Mac.

Mackenzie, Chance, Billy & Chloe all had a right to be there.

Kevin not so much.

Besides Fen's birth Michael/Lauren haven't had ONE story where Kevin isn't prominent.

Now that TPTB have made them Eden's babysitters Kevin's useless ass has to be shoehorned somewhere else so the serial rapist runs the local TEEN hangout while judging everyone.

SO. MUCH. HATE.

That house is being overstuffed with people that don't need to be there because MAB loves all things Chancellor. I don't know why anyone needed to be there to gather when most of them are living there with her. It is overkill. Kay knows they support her. I don't see a need for an impromptu party to show her this.

Hey I agree and it sucks but until MAB is out the best I can hope for is that she doesn't kill off Lauren and I get to see them on screen once in awhile. LML used them to prop Gloria and MAB uses them to prop Kevin amongst others. CLB and TEB are being completely wasted and have been since she took over. They didn't even have a story last year and in the two years MAB has been in control, the only story either had was Michael's father at the end of 2008 which ended up being more of a Gloria vehicle. last year was all about propping Kevin when they actually were on screen.

MAB likes Kevin and does not like Michael and Lauren so I doubt anything is going to change. Who knows, maybe her goal is to eliminate Michael and Lauren and make Kevin a part of the Chancellor family. Wouldn't shock me.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
